I was greatly excited to log on and see Ella’s last post about New 7 Hills. Spotting Harry online, I rounded him up and we headed over there for an early glimpse of what it’ll have to offer.

I’m delighted to see that the emphasis will clearly be on nature within naturism, and engaging with the natural world’s delights.

The naked horse riding looks to be an exciting addition to the range of SL replicating RL naturist activities, and I can’t wait to try that out.

Otherwise, Miekel Skytower looks to be placing an emphasis on simple wooded areas, the beach and a rustic feel which I hope will be developed. It certainly looks as though there’ll be plenty of walking possibilities, and a kind of ‘antique’ feel in terms of the architecture. You’ll be pleased to learn that if you previously were a member of 7 Hills your group tag will still work, and if not, don’t worry, you can join for free at a very familiar tp entrance point.

I remember 7 Hills as being huge, with living opportunities, a massive (and popular) ballroom and so on. This looks like a more modest build but, as we know, that’s not a bad thing, as it generally places an emphasis on the social element of SL. Some unedited photos by Harry follow…
